Republicans file lawsuit over redesigned ballot. (Appleton Post-Crescent, 9/17/2014)
Waah, waah!
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald filed the lawsuit in Waukesha County Circuit Court against the Government Accountability Board. The complaint argues that the model ballot drafted by the GAB is confusing, gives undo prominence to Democratic candidates and makes it difficult for voters to tell which office the candidates are seeking.
My guess is that the Republicans' internal polling numbers are not looking good.
